5. Voice select
• This parameter determines whether each phrase on the track
uses its own voice, or whether all phrases on the track use
the voice selected at this Mixer page.
• If you set the value to Phr (Phrase), then each phrase is
produced in its own voice, and the mixer’s voice settings
(voice category, program-number, and bank-number set-
tings) are disabled – and are blanked out on the screen.
• If you set the value to Pat (Pattern), then all phrases on the
track are produced using voice selected by the mixer’s voice-
category, program-number, and bank-number settings (see
below).

6. Voice category
• This value selects the general voice category, as given by
the bank-select MSB (the most significant byte of the two-
byte bank value). Available choices are as follows.
• The icon selects the “normal voice” category (MSB
000).
• The icon selects the “SFX v oice” category (MSB 064).
(Note that SFX is an acronym for “sound effects”.) Each
voice in this category produces a single effect-type sound
over the full range of the keyboard, with different keys pro-
ducing the sound in different pitches (as with a normal
voice).
• The icon selects the “SFX kit” category (MSB 126).
Each voice in this category provides a full range of effect-
type sounds, with a different sound assigned to each key of
the keyboard (as with a drum voice).
• The icon selects the “drum voice” category. Each v oice
in this category consists of a “drum kit” of percussion
sounds. This gives you access to multiple drum kits — so
that you can assign a different kit to each of your drum tracks.
• The icon selects the special “drum setup-3” category.
This is a special category that allows you to implement note-
by-note editing for any one of your drum kits. (You edit the
sound using the Drum-Setup Edit screen; see page 235.)
The category consists of a single voice only (as selected
and edited by you); all tracks set to this category will there-
fore produce the same voice.
